The Carleton College Department of Music offers a wide variety of courses focusing on different aspects of the broad subject and designed for students at all levels of experience, including courses in history, literature, theory, analysis, world musics, composition and performance. The goal of the Music Department is to provide the opportunity for students not only to continue developing the particular musical interests they bring to Carleton, but to broaden and expand those interests into new areas of study.
A variety of music literature courses with minimal or no prerequisites are open to all students, and an Introduction to the Study of Music (Music 110) course leads into history, theory, and music literature courses for both majors and non-majors. Any student may study an instrument or voice at beginning through advanced levels and may participate in one or more of the musical organizations by audition.
